Florence made landfall in southeastern North Carolina on Friday morning as a Category 1 hurricane with 90 mph winds.

The eye of Florence crossed the coast near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, at 7:15 a.m. EDT, according to the National Hurricane Center.

A wind gust to 92 mph was reported in Wilmington as Florence roared ashore.

Destructive winds, storm surge flooding and rainfall flooding will continue as Florence moves slowly just inland from the southern North Carolina coast on Friday. Extreme rainfall totals will produce major flooding as Florence crawls farther inland through this weekend.
